[Koglist] ELTE Cognitive Seminar Series

by Kognitív pszichológia Tanszék

Dear All, We would like to invite you to the first event from the ELTE Cognitive Seminar series for the new academic year: *Péter Simor*** *Frequent nightmares at the intersection of personality factors, emotional dysregulation, and sleep physiology*** Location: PPK, Institue of Psychology, Izabella u. 46, room P2. Date: 28.09.2017. (Thursday), 17.00 Summary: Nightmares are intense and highly unpleasant mental experiences that occur usually – but not exclusively – during late-night Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep and often provoke abrupt awakenings. Nightmares affect approximately four percent of the adult population on a weekly basis. The clinical relevance of nightmares should not be underestimated given their high incidence in psychiatric populations, co-morbidity with insomniac symptoms and their association with daytime affective as well as cognitive dysfunctions. Frequent nightmares are associated with personality factors, emotional dysregulation, and altered sleep physiology. In this talk, I will summarize our main findings regarding the neurophysiological aspects of nightmare disorder and present an integrative approach to analyze this somewhat neglected sleep disorder.

[Koglist] [CEU Cogsci Talks] CogSci CEU Colloquium: September 20, Carlo Reverberi (University of Milano-Bicocca)

by Andrea Jenei

The CEU Department of Cognitive Science and the Social Mind Center cordially invites you to its talk by Carlo Reverberi<http://rc2lab.psico.unimib.it/carloreve/> (RC² Lab, Reasoning and Cognitive Control Lab, Psychology Department of the University of Milano-Bicocca, Italy). <http://www.uva.nl/over-de-uva/organisatie/medewerkers/content/e/l/m.vanelk/…> Date: Wednesday, September 20, 2017 - 17:00-18:30 Location: Department of Cognitive Science, CEU, Oktober 6 St. 7, room 101 Representation and discovery of task features in human frontal cortex Humans can organize their thoughts and actions to achieve specific goals by building “task sets” or “mental programs” describing which are the operations, facts, goals and relations relevant in a situation. However, how the human brain represents the different and multiple types of information involved in complex task sets is not fully understood. In a series of fMRI experiments we explored the neural representation of different task features: simple stimulus-response rules, priority information, rule hierarchies, logical relations, and subtask assignment to different people. Furthermore, we explored the discovery and representation of features possibly relevant for new, yet to be implemented, rule sets. Overall, we found that the neural representation of complex rules is “compositional”, i.e. built on the neural representation of their constituent rules or features. Complex task sets are “decomposed” in their elementary features. The constituent features are then represented in different brain structures, depending on the type of information to be stored. We argue that compositionality, “decomposition” and information-guided representation are general features of prefrontal cortex functional organization. The presentation will focus specifically on three recent experiments, on the representation of the person to whom a subtask was assigned, on the representation of logical relations, and on the representation of yet-to-be used task features. We are looking forward to see you at the talk!

[Koglist] Meghívó: Gregor Volberg EEG-fMRI előadása, nov. 24 MTA TTK

by Balázs Knakker

Kedves Kolléga! Tisztelettel meghívom az Agyi Képalkotó Központ szemináriumára, melyet 2017. *november 24-én, pénteken 13 órától* tartunk az MTA TTK Kutatóházban a földszinti kiselőadóban. Gregor Volberg (University of Regensburg) *Combining EEG and MRI in visual neuroscience: The case of perceptual integration* An overarching aim in visual neuroscience is to identify brain mechanisms that produce a given sensation or perception. A percept often relies on neural activity in dedicated brain regions, but also on a temporal code that binds different brain areas into transient neural assemblies. For an adequate description of the underlying brain mechanisms it is thus necessary to acquire measures of neural activity with both a fine-grained spatial and temporal resolution. I will show own examples for multimodal neuroscience with combined MRI and EEG data that meet this requirement. The experiments cover different aspects of visual perceptual integration, across space or across features, in normal subjects and in synesthetes. The results will demonstrate the advantages of multimodal neuroscience for understanding visual perception. Vidnyánszky Zoltán központvezető MTA TTK Agyi Képalkotó Központ

[Koglist] Fluencia Party on Friday

by Dezso Nemeth

Dear Cognitive Folks, The next Fluencia Party will be on 29th September (Friday) starting at 7.00pm in Ellátóház (Dob utca). Info: https://www.facebook.com/events/1882573868427152/ Fluencia is a monthly organized informal "jamboree" for cogsci-, psychology-related students (undergrads, grads), professors, researchers from many different universities in Hungary. The idea and motivation are to facilitate interactions, communication, collaboration among researchers working here, get to know others and others' interests, topics, etc. And, of course, to have some drinks and fun in a friendly environment. Everybody is welcome to attend! If you have any further questions, do not hesitate to ask. All the best, Dezso -------------------------------------- NEMETH, Dezso (PhD) Brain, Memory and Language Lab: http://www.memory-and-language.com Phone: +36-1-4614500/3565, +36-1-4614500/3519

[Koglist] [CEU Cogsci Talks] REMINDER: CogSci CEU Departmental Colloquium: September 13, Wednesday: Manfred Bierwisch (Humboldt Universität) - Language and music similarities and differences

by Gyorgyne Finta

REMINDER: The CEU Department of Cognitive Science cordially invites you to its talk as part of the Departmental Colloquium series by Manfred Bierwisch (Humboldt Universität) Date: Wednesday, September 13, 2017 - 15:30 - 17:00 (please note the unusual timing!!!!) Host: Csaba Pléh Language and Music - Types of Signs and their Consequences Language and Music share acoustic signals and interesting aspects of structure, but for essentially different reasons and with crucially different consequences. Given Peirce's distinction of indexical, iconic, and symbolic signs, Language is essentially based on combinatorial symbols, while Music consists in the iconic combination of sounds, with fundamental different consequences for their respective combinatorial structure. Of particular interest is the integration of the principles of both types of signs in singing, as will be illustrated in a characteristic example. Location: Department of Cognitive Science, CEU, Oktober 6 street 7, room 101. See more at: https://cognitivescience.ceu.edu/events/2017-09-13/departmental-colloquium-… We are looking forward to see you there!
